Love to hear the answers myself. Most of what I do is Java development
so Eclipse is a defacto standard there. The things I appreciate about
Eclipse for Java beyond just the "code editing" side are:
Built in server support. So I can fire up Tomcat or Glassfish or any
other servlet container from within the IDE and have a ready made
environment locally to deploy to for testing/development.
Build and compile tools - I am getting pretty fond of Maven and Gradle
Interactive debugging locally and remote debugging for remote servers
Database plugins for queries although I tend to lean on SQuirreL more
than anything.
Eclipse is more of a platform for plugins that do the heavy lifting than
and IDE, but an IDE built on Eclipse is where I live most of my day.
For straight up editing with no compile needs (mostly HTML, CSS and
Javascript editing) I use Brackets. A more "interactive" option for
JavaScript/Ruby/etc would be Sublime.
There is a whole list of progressively more robust tools for
development, which can start with Notepad and end up with
Eclipse/VS/RDi. The distinction I would think is the
build/compile/deploy/debug cycle support that IDE's provide and an
"editor" lacks...

That's an interesting question, what are the minimum qualities to make an "IDE"? I use VS Code, and it is much more lightweight than RDi.
